★Attention all students,
Want to show off your literary skills, impress your friends and teachers and possibly win some cash? Start preparing for the BBA Poetry Out Loud contest to be held in the Hunter Seminar Room after school on St. Patrick's Day, Thursday, March 17th.
All you have to do is memorize a poem from this website: www.poetryoutloud.org
(or another poem pre-approved by any English teacher) and recite it in a compelling way on the day of the contest.
$100 goes to the first place winner, $50 to the second place winner, and $25 to the third place winner!
Have some fun, learn a poem, win some money. It's that simple.
